Abstract

The experimental and fictional design approach exists at the point where the boundaries of production technology blur, acting in search of a systematic and at the same time measurable architecture by destroying stereotyped and traditional expressions, while producing with the unlimited predictions it adopts. 'Utopia', which creates a definable space for itself between these two disciplines, aims to reach beyond its time by finding its existence within the triangle of subject-space-experience, and always aims forward. The relationship between fictional and experimental space, which hosts many alternatives and various actions, forms a strong structure with its conceptual and utopian infrastructure. In this context, the study will emphasize the importance and necessity of these two design approaches by examining how they have been shaped from past to present and how they shed light on architecture.
